Zunayed Saki speaks to DOT
Voters must overcome all obstacles to go to the polls centers. There will be many obstacles in the way.
People are unsure and anxious whether they will be able to vote or not. But despite everything, they will still have to overpower all barriers.
I welcome all to go and vote. At the same time I advise you all to be aware about establishing your voter rights, because your votes will establish your rights. This is why both giving votes and protecting them have to be given equal priority.
The Election Commission and the administrations under it are working for a particular faction.
A transparent election can never be held in such an atmosphere. There are obstacles in every step. In other words, there is no path where there aren’t any barriers. This has been the state of this year’s election.
The amount of harassment we experienced in campaigning, the severity with which our workers came under attack. They were crippled with steel rods, their offices vandalized. The entire administration has been set up to work for a single party.
If both the administration and EC work for a single party, the results will be just as expected. Nevertheless, I would still urge all to exercise their voting rights.
